story. But if I did I would pick Tyler. *dreams about him*

Switching Colors: Chapter Two: In The Mall

As the four entered the mall, Val pulled Caitie aside and asked her quietly,
"How are we going to get the dye without the guys seeing?"

Caitie stooped and thinks for a moment. Finally she says, "I'll occupy them
while you get yours and than you occupy them while I get mine."

"Sounds like a plan." Val replied, thinking of how she would occupy them.

Caitie and Val walk up to the guys, Caitie turns to them and says, "Guys,
come with me a minute. I need your suggestion on something."

Tyler turns around and replies, "What about Val? Where is she going?" He
asked not waiting to leave her.

"She's going to the restroom. I know you like her but you can't follow her
in THERE." Caitie laughed mockingly at Tyler. Even though she was making it
up, she loved putting him in an awkward position.

"That's not funny." Tyler said turning away, while a red flush color burned
on his checks.

"Come on.." Caitie said while dragging them into a store and pulls out a
neon pink dress, "What do you think of this...for me?"

The guys just start cracking up. Jamie laughing so hard he falls to the
found. But instead of getting up he stays there and continues to laugh. Val
comes over and sees them, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Caitie replies, "just them being them. Anyway I'm heading to
the bathroom." And she throws the dress down at Jamie. Val grimaced.

"Ummm no offense Caitie, but, ummmm, you're not considering buying that,
are you?" Val said picking it up, and tossing it aside. "Because it's so
umm, well, let's just say NO and leave it at that, shall we?" She noticed a
frosty blue spaghetti strap dress that had been hidden on the rack behind
the neon monstrosity, "Now this dress would be so perfect for the dance
coming up!" She turns it around over, showing the tag, "Oh man, so much for
dreams in that dress." And puts it back on the rack along with her dreams
of wearing that dress while dancing with Tyler.

"How much is it?" Tyler asked taking Val out of her dream.

"Forget about it Tyler. I'm not even sure I'm going to the dance anyways."
Val said getting a sad look on her face.

"Well, why not?" Tyler asked trying to figure it out.

"Cause…" Val said searching for more than, 'you haven't asked me, "There's
no one to go with." She finally chooses.

"What about a friend." Tyler said trying to figure the best way to ask her
out.

"Well I'm sure Caitie's going to go with Jamie. And-"

"No, I meant me." Tyler said…'there I said it. Why is she looking at me
like that? Answer me Val.'

"Are you sure you don't have another cheerleader to go with?" Val said
remembering the recent episode.

"No. I was planning on asking the best cheerleader."

"You mean Heather?" Val said with this look of disgust on her face.

"NO. You of course. The best and the most beautiful cheerleader. Especially
if you let me buy you that dress." Tyler was beginning to turn red.

Val was so totally surprised that Tyler said she was beautiful that she
didn't realize that Tyler had taken the dress form the rack and went to the
counter to pay for it. When she finally snapped out of it, it was too late.
It was paid for. Tyler turns around and sees the look on her face, and says,
"You'll go with me right? If not, you'll still look great in that dress, or
anything."

Just than Caitie comes in and distracts Val from answering his question,
"What's going on?" She asked seeing the look on Val's face.

"I'll tell you later." Val finally said, "I got to go to the bathroom
again, I'll be right back ya'll." Val said but instead of going to the
bathroom again she was going to buy her dye.

(A/N: this part here I got total help from Makatibird…thank you very much
girlie.)

"Do you think we should, umm follow her or something?" Tyler asked
anxiously, glancing at his wristwatch. "Where did she go anyways? The
bathroom doesn't take this long?" He continued.

Caitie sighed, "She's probably gone to meet her boy- I mean friend." She
said, mischievously.

Tyler paled. "What do you mean boy friend? Val doesn't have a boyfriend…she
would have told me if she did I mean-" His face turned serious, "Caitie,
who is this guy? Do you know him? Does she really like him?"

"Eric…" She merely mumbled.

"So his name is Eric? How long have they been going out? CAITIE ANSWER ME!"
He yelled.

An evil grin broke out on the goth's face, "I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW you liked
Val!" She hooted
triumphantly.

"Yea Caitie, but what about-" A look of understanding crossed his face.
"There is no Eric, is there." He sighed.

"No there's not, Caitie stop it your going to make him stop liking her. You
know how much she really…" Jamie started but got cut off by Caitie's hand.
Which to him, smelled like coconut. He loved that smell. Mainly on her

"JAMIE shut up." She hissed.

Jamie looked at Caitie. "The only way I'll shut up is…"

"WHAT..there's something that will shut you up? Please tell..Becasue what
ever it is I'll.." But was cut off with Jamie's lips coming on to hers.
(Seee I have some c/j in me you all)

Caitie managed to pull away from him, beat red, "W-what was THAT for?" She
gasped.

He shrugged, "Umm, I guess it's because. I. Well I Umm, like you?" He
stuttered nervously. She grinned.

"Well, I, umm guess, I like you too." She replied, leaning in for another
kiss. Tyler cleared his throat loudly, having suddenly been made more aware
of his own single status, "Do you guys HAVE to do that here?" He asked,
annoyed. Looking away, hoping to spot Val.

"Look, just because you don't have the granola to tell Val that you like
her, doesn't mean you have to spoil it for us." Caitie snapped, angry at
having been pulled away from Jamie, (and Jamie's lips)

"Shut up Caitie." Tyler muttered, scanning his surroundings for any sight
of Val. Over his shoulder Caitie saw her duck into Hot Topic, though
luckily, Jamie was paying too much attention to Caitie to spot her.
Unfortunaltely, he regained his senses long enough to announce, "Hey
Caitie? Can we go into Hot Topic? I mean, Val can handle being on her own
for a bit, and I need a new shirt."

A look of panic crossed her face, "Umm do you really want to go in there?
Cause, I mean.."

"That's my favorite store!" He announced, cutting her off and draggin her
through the entrance with Tyler following reluctantly behind.

Val, who was all the way in the back, had already brought the dye and was
looking for the perfect, 'Caitie' dress to go with it, though all her
options seemed terribly indecent for one who always wore pants and ankle
skirts. "I'll look like a tramp!" She sighed, pulling out a black dress
that cut less than mid thigh. The longest one she'd seen so far.

Caitie saw her head into the dressing room holding the offending dress.
"Way to go Val!" She murmured, thinking that the guys wouldn't hear.
Unfortunatly, when it came to Val, Tyler had ears like a hawk.

"VAL? Where?" He asked, whipping around to find her. Caitie gave a sigh of
relief, she had just shut the dressing room door as he truned.

"What about Val?" She said innocently.

"You said something about Val! I heard it." He exclaimed.

Jamie rolled his eyes. "Man, you're obsessed, just ask her out already!" He
groaned.

Tyler blushed, "I am not." He muttered, swiping half heartedly at a rack of
shirts.

Meanwhile….Val was in the dressing room, wearing the microspic black dress,
which, to her surprise, she actually liked. There was one problem, she
couldn't find the price. "Somebody?" She called poking her head out of the
dressing room. Val gasped and pulled her head back in, shutting the door
with a slam.

Caitie told the guys she was going to go get something and she'd meet them
buy the guys shirts and went to where Val was. She pulled the door open,
and steped in, "Val. What is it. They guys are out there."

Val looked up, "Um. I was finding a dress. And I really like this one," Val
spined around, showing Caitie the dress, "And I couldn't find a price tag
for it."

"Oh..Um. Well ok. I'll try to get the guys out so you can buy it and get
done. Tyler is going crazy without you there. Oh and I tricked him and told
him you had a boyfriend, well you went to meet him but Jamie ruined it and
told him I was lying."

"Caitie. Your lucky Jamie said that, or i'd be kicking some butt right
about now."

"Go Val. Kick butt." Caitie walked out hoping she could get the guys out so
they could get it done and go home.

She walked over by the shirts, and spotted Jamie and Tyler. They were
looking at the shirts and when Jamie seen her he went up to her, "Where's
Val? Tyler's like freaking."

"How am I suppose to know? Come on let's go wait for her back over there."
She pointed to a bench. Jamie took the two shirts from Tyler and payed for
them and they walked out.

Val came out of the dressing room, making sure they were gone. She found
the price and to her luck it was a mangeable price. She payed for it and
put the dye in the same bag and walked off to the others. Once Tyler
spotted her, he ran up to her. "Hey. What took you so long?"

"U-um. Long lines." She replied looking over to Jamie and Caitie, who were
kissing. "Caitie, how come you never told me?" Val asked, refering to them
kissing. Mad Caitie didn't tell her they were going out.

"Val. They just started kissing while you were in the bathroom. Don't
worry." Tyler gave her a flashed her a smile. "What's in the bags?" He
asked.

"Huh? Oh. Um nothing."

"Let me see that." Tyler reached for the bags but missed. Val pulled them
around and to the other side. He tryed to reach for them again, and this
time getting it. He started to dash off. But Val got right behind him.
Caitie and Jamie pulled apart to see them runing past them. Caitie knew
this wasgoing to be trouble if Tyler opened the bags and ran after him too.
Jamie, being the only one standing there, ran after Caitie, and her lips.

Val finally caught up to Tyler, and grabed the bags and took off. Leaving
Tyler to chase her, Caitie to chase Tyler, and Jamie to chase Caitie. Tyler
got to Val and grabed her arm, and took the bag. Caitie caught up to them,
and just in time took it from Tyler, "Leave it alone. Or i'll have to beat
you up Tyler." Caitie handed the bag back to Val. "And I'll have the eight
year old girl, that beat up Jamie, come after you next."

"She did not beat me up. It was a reaction to her meds." Jamie said. He was
getting sick of saying it. He had to tell everyone that, after Caitie
telling them he got beat up from her. The four headed off and got something
to eat. And then headed back to Caities.
